Ancestors and loved ones

When we hold our ancestors and loved ones who have died in a heart filled with gratefulness, we experience them as before us, not behind us, outside of linear time. Thus we continue to receive their love and guidance; perhaps in ways we were never open to when they lived. Even if we did not know them.

Simply call on their names, say, "Thank you", and open your heart.
